**Welcome to the Doom Metal Sub**

*Doom metal is an extreme form of heavy metal music that typically uses slower tempos, low-tuned guitars and a much "thicker" or "heavier" sound than other metal genres. Both the music and the lyrics intend to evoke a sense of despair, dread, and impending doom.The genre is strongly influenced by the early work of Black Sabbath, who formed a prototype for doom metal with songs such as "Black Sabbath", "Electric Funeral" and "Into the Void".*

*During the first half of the 1980s, a number of bands from England (Pagan Altar, Witchfinder General), the United States (Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Trouble) and Sweden (Candlemass, Count Raven) defined doom metal as a distinct genre.*

* **FAQ**

* *Can I post something if it's not doom metal?* Yes!  We like proto-doom, sludge, stoner rock, heavy psych, and other "low an' slow" stuff from bands that aren't considered doom metal.

* *How should I tag my post?* Tag it how ever you want, but this is what we think works best. "Artist - Song Title [style, country, year]" (without the quotes)

* *I can't see my post.  What happened?* It was probably caught by the spam filter. [Click here](http://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Fdoommetal)  to send us a message and we'll fish it out for you.

* *Do you have link flairs?* Yep! [Here's the list.](http://www.reddit.com/r/doommetal/comments/1ym81f/rdoommetal_has_implemented_link_flairs_you_can/)
